Please support my Ambitious challenge!

On Sunday 28 June 2026 I will be riding 220 miles (356 kilometres) in a single day from Manchester to London connecting my university and home. It’ll be a test of brainpower and my legs. I’m sure I’ll be thankful for every Avanti West Coast delay after this!

I am taking on the challenge to raise funds for Ambitious about Autism, a national charity that supports education and training for autistic children and young people. They also work to raise awareness about autism and supporting families. 

Too often autistic young people are unheard, unsupported, or shut out of opportunities. That can change. Every mile and every turn of the pedals helps create a world where autistic children and young people are accepted for who they are and given the chance to realise their ambitions.

If you can, please consider donating to my page and join me in standing with autistic children and young people. All your donations will keep me going when I hit the trenches!
